Hi Phil, I was very interested to read your post this AM. It has helped to put me back into a positive frame of mind this morning. I was feeling pretty sorry for myself when I read it. I feel somewhat better now. I know that exercise can help a lot. I sometimes find myself trying to do everything "now " while I can still function without too many problems. Unfortunately, there is still too much that I had planned on doing to fit it all into the next year or two. Besides who can afford it? I try to be realistic. I know that PD will not kill me but it will make it harder to do things. That part scares me sometimes. I never wanted to be a burden to my family and I feel that is coming some day. Lets pray for a cure!!!!! Again thanks for the positive post. Sue W. 45/2
